Work and Length of Life.

Before the days of science and statistics it was very well known that the char acter of a man 8 work and the conditions under which he has to labor make real difference in the length of life to which he may fairly look forward. But Tn spite ot the increased attention paid to subjects ot this kind during the last few years, very few people really recognlze how powerful for good and evil these influences are, and they will be astounded at the figures contained in the paper read by MT. Hum phrev before the Statistical society. The results of his investigations went to show that in spite of its mental and moral anx- ieties the life of a clergyman taking the term in its broadest sense) is the health jest Taking 100 to represent the aver age death rate between the ages of 20 and 50 the rate among the clergy is only little more than half, or 55.
 Passing to the other extreme we find that the mortality is heaviest among servants employed ill inns and hotels, the proportional rate upon them standing at 220. Four of them die for one in the class above, and though late hours, hurry and excitement, and the temptations to excess which beset them might well have led us to expect very decided difference in their liability to fatal disease. so enor- nous disparity could hardly have been anticipated. Farmers, gardeners and agricultural laborers come next in health mess to the clergy, and after them follows a wide gap, the death rate among them standing at 70, as compared with 193 among the miners of Cornwall, while London laborers suffer more severely still. We are lessening the unhealthi- ness of the country year by year, but our success is clearly unequal. With some callings and occupations it is hope less to look for any great improvement, but in most something ought to be done to diminish the liability to disease, and il is not satisfactory that for every seven

 nine should die at Preston. We must try
 to make the rate more even throughout
 the land.-Sunday Magazine.

Rreathing rhrough the Month.

Those people uho breathe through the mouth draw dust constantly into their lungs, where it remains permanently; for Professor Tyndall has shown that the exhaled air is absolutely free from dust particles. Profes- sor Reclam asserts that city people at the age of 30 usually have in their lungs a whole gramme of calcareous dust, which they can never again get rid of, and which may engender dangerous disease. Few people know that their skins as well as their lungs need constant supply of oxygen. The skin, as well as the lungs, breathes and purifies the blood, as is shown by the fact that the arterial blood which goes to the skin does not turn venous and dark elsewhere, but remains red and pure.-The Epoch.

A NIetaDhysician,s Habits.

The famous Immanuel Kant was very methodical man in all his habits. It is said of him by Heine that getting up in the morning, drinking coffee, writing, featuring and walking, all had exact time; and the neighbors knew that it was half past o'clock when Immanuel Kant, in his gray overcoat, mulacca cane in his hand, appeared in his house door, and strode toward that little linden avenue which to this very day is called, after him, the philosopher walk. y Fur thermore, eight times he used to go up and down there in all seasons, and if the weather was dull, or if dark clouds pre- dicted a rainfall, old Lampe, his servant was seen walking behind him, carefully anxious, with a long umbrella under his m.-Queries.

The Pelican Fish.

The investigations which have been made by dredging into the fauna of the waters of the deep seas ill many parts of the world have resulted in the discovery of most eccentric forms of animal life, more especially among the fishes; but none exceed in their departure from the ordinary type the pelican fish, which was dredged up from a depth of a mile and half off the coast of Morocco, not far from the Canary Islands. This fish, which differs widelX from any previous known type, presents most extraordl- nary development of the mouth. The jaws are extremely large, and the floor of the lower jaw is formed of a very ex- tensible skin, which, when filled with food, constitutes sort of pouch like that of the pelican; it is probable that the first stages of the digestion of the food may be carried on in this s-cayity, as the stomach IS very small. The fins are hardly less remarkable than the jaws. The pectoral fins are very rudimentary, whilst the dor sal and the ventral are each constituted by range of free detached spines.

PIANOS TO RENT.
An Industry Which Is Rapidly Growing
in All Largo Cities.

An Industry which Is Rapidly Growing
in All Largo Cities.
A dealer the other day estimated that
100, 900 families of this city and Brook
lyn possess pianos. "All of these" he
said, "are not owned by the holders.
OF late years there has been great de.
mand for pianos to hire. One store in
Brooklyn makes that branch of the
business speciality. They charge for
the loan of a piano from 50 to So
month and 81 up for an organ. The
profit is unusually great and am sur
prised that other dealers do not .coniinc
themselves to that trade. You must
not think, either, that those who hire
pianos are poor. They are of the mid
die class and do not at first relish the
idea of purchasing an instrument out
and out 1t is only when the instru-
ment has been in the house for four or
five weeks that the thought of purchas-
ing it enters the mind of the father of
the family. After he has paid six
or seven instalmcnts of So cash, he
begins to think the hiring prin-
ciple is little too expensive, and
threatens to return it. Then
the best friend of the dealer-the
young lady of the household-stcps
forward and enters protest. She re-
marks that her education will be sadly
neglected if he returns it. Her chances
in life, too, demand little considera-
ton, she pleads. If those protests do
not carry the day she utters another
which sweeps the deck and shakes the
very backbone of her parent. What
will the ncighbors say she inquiries,
if it is cartel away? l know, they
will say it was taken away for debt or
something like that. Would you like
Mrs. Smith next door to speak like
that?' Conviction that shc is right en-
ters his soul, she wins the day and re-
tains the piano. In few weeks after
that, or whenever opportunity occurs,
she argues with her parent that it
would be money saved to buy the in
strument. He puts his foot down on
the proposition, but q woman's n
woman, and after she has begged
and coaxed he generally admits by
purchasing the piano that she has
financial blood in her young veins. OF
course the money that he has paid for
the renting of the forte is taken into
consideration when he decides to buy,
the dealer invariably making a reduc-
tion-a big one if great many install
ments have been paid, and n small one
if only few have been met.
mo, the dealer has no security
against loss, and dishonest person
could, by removing to another residence
after nightfall, conliscate the property
if he chose. When forte is leased Il
regular contract is drawn up. 1t con-
tains some binding clauses, but beyond
that there is nothing to hold. The
dealers are sometimes victimizcd, but
not often. IN y Mail and Express.

RUST In WHEAT.
A Destructive Fungus Which Passei
Through Three Distinct Ages.

A Destructive Fungus Which Passes
Through Three Distinct Ages.
The disease known rs rust in wheat
and oats is caused by fungus called
Puccinia graminiS, which has most in
tercsting history. just rs truly as the
codlingmoth live during part of its life
rs larva in the apple, second part
rs pupa under the bark near the base of
the tree, and the third adult stage as a
mature moth with wings, so does this
rust have three distinct stages. The
black rust stage is the mature stage in
which the black spores are produced
that survive the winter in the straw or
stubble of wheat, oats or some other
grass plants. In the spring these rest
ing spores in some way get upon the
leaves of barberry (very probably on
some more common plants also) and
germinatc, producing what is
known rs the cluster cups
on that shrub. The cup-like
formations on the surface of the bar
berry leaf are full of minute spores
which are carried by the winds, some
reaching the grain. These spores
lodge on the rough surfaces of the
blades and stems of the wheat or oats
and begin growth by sending out n
very minute and thrcad-like myccllum,
as it is called, which penetrates the
plant and grows through the tissue,
multiplying very rapidly. When the
grain is nearly ripe the mycellum pro-
duces yellowish spores near the sur
face of the leaves and stems, which
break through and stand out over the
plant, often making it look II reddish
yellow and covering the hands and
clothes of those binding it by hand be-
fore the dew is off in the morning.
These spores fall to other parts of the
plant and grow, thus aiding the rapid
multiplication of the thread-like my
cellum in filling the plant tissues.
The thicd or adult stage differs main
ly in tho kind of spores produced over
the surface of the plant. They are
black, instead of reddish or yellow.
They can be seen in rows along the
stem or leaves of ripe grain, or stubble
black spores are more dense than those
produced in the second or "red stage"
and are calculated to live through the
winter and start new generation by
first living in the cluster-cup stage in
the leaves of the barberry. The fact
that the field of wheat was infested this
year goes to show that there was ba--
berry or other plants upon which the
rust can pass its first stage. The pres
ent knowledge of this fungus js not
clear enough to enable one to deter
mine how certainly it will reappear
after having infested field. Unless
wheat is by far the most profitable,
corn or some other paying crop should
be grown next year The rust is said
to work most rapidly in moist, warm
weather, and the amount of damage
done will depend greatly on the kind Of
season, --Prairie Farmer,

Several Reasons why Women Would
Make Excellent DruggIata.

Make Excellent Druggists.
"Thcre are several reasons" observed
an cx-professor in the College of Phar-
macy to a reporter recently, "why
women would make excellent drug
gists."
"Better than menp"
~ can't say that exactly, but un-
doubtedly some women would bo far
better than some male druggists we
havep"
''1n what way do you meanp"
"In several. For instance, women
are quicker than mon, learn more
easily, and are less apt to be deceived
in reading prescriptions They are In
finitely neator about their work, and
can do up small parcels, mix prescrip-
tions and wait on customers with q
grace that the male clerk may envy,
but can never hope to rival. Fancy the
difference between pretty female

the usual stupid and clumsy boy! There
is no comparison.

will find rs many female drug clerks as
we do saleswomen in dry-goods stores.
You see, drug clerks arc complied to
pass q rigid examination before they
are allowed to compound prescriptions.
This usually nccessitatcs either short
course in medicine, knowledge of Latin
and a thorough study of chemistry at a
college of pharmacy or several years of
experience in drug store. Tho former
study is too expensive for most young
women, and the latter has beon closed
to them, as rule, on account of the
prejudice of druggists against female
clerks. This will all be changed in time
though. The work is healthy, easy and
well paid, and think women will have
equal chances in it with men,"

fessor. "On the contrary, he added in

and deserves to be kept up. Much
more beautiful than the circular and
formally arranged bouquets that used
to be presented by the gentleman
anxious to get into the good graces of
his lady are the rustic basket of reeds
filed with growing flowers decorated
with bows of ribbon carefully chosen
as to color. Long after the poor roses
or what not, subjected to the process
of wiring, have faded and gone, the
